Sanitary Marriages Are Latest of Fads Sanitary marriages are getting to 'be the fad. And it has all come out of the re- : cent agitation in favor of the study of eugenics. Not that the law has been passed requiring a clean bill of health. It hasn't In very many places. Neither has the church made It generally mandatory upon all Its communicants. Uut there's that great big factor 'lie sentiment, which has been ctly at work. And young folks now are proud if they had been the contracting-parties In a eugenics wedding. Throughout the country, of course, various clergy have refused to solemnize marriages where the clean bill of health was not in evidence. Some church conventions have given their support to the idea. All this has helped. But more than all has been the quiet and effective work of the power of public opinion which has been rapidly growinn in favor of the "sanitary marriage," the marriage which has as on'e of its essential factors absolute physical, moral and JU,tal fit- : ness. -"""""" The whole thing is so much in line with the general trend in the direction of higher health standards, and improved social,, conditions, that it Is rf.ly a partVgt, the movement, an jOUtgTifciflh of the Sentiment along these ! lines. It has been taken up by the most , progressive, the most thoughtful and representative people. And quite as popular as the June wedding, is the sanitary marriage. It's quite the newest idea In matters matrimonial.

Particularly comfortable, and altogether modish for the woman in mourning, during the summer season, is the new style innovation now being rapidly inaugurated throughout the country of substituting white for black in the mourning garb. Pure white of the softest materials has entirely supplanted the dull, sombre black of other days. And it's a vogue which is being taken up with avidity wherever it is Introduced. It must be all white to be correct, this mourning costume. Not a bit of black may enter into it to mar its effect. Just the purest, dullest, softest white obtainable should be used. In the matter of fabrics, the season's modes make white mourning a bit more desirable, since so many of the fabrics come in the soft dull weaves. Crepes, henriettas and ratines in soft white are all good materials to use in mourning, while the soft dull finish silks may be used for blouses and gowns for evening wear. Everything which savors of ostentation must be avoided in white mourning precisely as in black, the effort being to make it as simple and withal as attractive as is possible. Metropolitan stores are showing all the accessories for white mourning,

Frilly, Fanciful Neckwear in Vogue

Neckwear has never been so dainty and attractive as this season. It's made of such lacy, filmy, lovely stuff that the temptation to seize upon every bit one sees is pretty strong. Laces, chiffons, nets and all the sheer, fine fabrics enter Into the composition of these lovely creations. And they are pleated and ruffled, and so exquisitely and intricately made that they cannot but give to the lines of any face a wonderfully softened effect. Indeed the dress- which has not some lacy frill or bit of pleating Is not quite complete this season. Clever women are going through old trunks and chests looking for rare bits of lace to use in making these conceits, and many are the rare and rich old things which they are bringing forth. Old collars that grandmother wore may easily be transformed into the frills and ruffles which adorn many

Self-Centered Women Are the Most Uninteresting of All People

(BY BLANCHE DRAPER.) You yourself are the most uninteresting person in the world. That's not very flattering, is it? But you just try talking about yourself, what you do, what you think, what you believe and what you are. and see how quickly you will become unpopular with everybody with whom you come in contact. And you'll find out pretty quickly that people are not so keenly interested in you and your affairs as you believe them to be. Indeed, they may tolerate you. for reasons too numerous to mention. But they won't really like you. Just the minute, however, that you show even the slightest inclination to be interested in others, their activities and their welfare, you will notice a very marked change in the attitude of everybody toward you.

Investigation Shows Higher Marriage and Birth Rate in Suffrage States

Wherever woman's suffrage comes up for discussion, one of the arguments brought against it la that It will decrease the marriage rateOn the face of it, it sounds like a good argument. But it isn't. Here are some facts which were passed out after a thorough investigation of the marriage rate of Colorado, where women do vote, with many of the states In which women have not been given that right: A greater number of women 15 years of age and over, are married in Colorado than in 33 states In the Union. Only six states in the Union, excepting two which have woman's suffrage, have a smaller percentage of single women over 15 years of age than has Colorado. Comparing big cities, the Investigation shows that Denver has a larger percentage of married women than any of the important cities of the country, except Cleveland. Ohio. Detroit, Mich., and Los Angeles, Cal. Still further, the investigation shows that equal suffrage does not mean race suicide. There is a larger percentage of children under five years of age in Colorado than in the entire territory north of the Mason and Dixon line. The record, however, is exceeded in the southern states where the colored people live. In a nutshell, the investigation proved a larger percentage of women In Colorado are married than in 33 other states. Only 15 states have a better have a better record, and of these two Idaho and Wyoming have had equal suffrage for a number of years, and Kansas, Washington and Oregon have recently adopted it. Omitting these states only nine states had a better record than Colorado. Does that have any effect upon the arguments of decrease in marriage rate and of race suicide which are so frequently put up against equal suffrage? THE BUSINESS GIKD WHO IS MARRIED. (BY BLANCHE DRAPER.) Entirely out of your Bphere are you, the Business Girl Who Is Married. If you have a husband, you should have a home- If you have a home you should be in it, or at least supervising it. You should not be working outside. For it is certain that you can't do Justice to your business and to your home. Either one or the other Is bound to suffer. You can't take dictations for letters when all the time you're wondering if you have lard enough to make the pie your husband will want for dinner after his day's work. Neither can you do Justice to your bookkeeping, if all tho time you're wondering if you left the window up in the guest room, letting in the dust or rain. You can't wait on customers satisfactorily when all the time you're thinking of the work which Is waiting for you when you get through your business for the day. So it's a certainty that you can't do justice to yourself, 'your employer or your business If you have also the supervision of a home on your hands, and are doing anything at all like Justice to that. And of course you can't do Justice to your home, when you are giving the greatest part of your time to the business of another. Home-making and housekeeping are very much like business. They require the biggest part of your time and your atten tion if they are done properly. You lose all the Joy of your home when you are in It simply to sleep and eat. It becomes an easy matter for both you and your husband to drift to other places. And the result is best type of home. not the Besides all this there Is that other big economic fact, that while you are working, and for lower wages, you are correspondingly decreasing the salary which your husband might make. In addition to that 70U are taking the place which some girl j wno reany neeas 10 worK to support herself should have. But. most of all. you can't serve your home and your employer. Either you must cleave to one, or hold fast to the other. And if you're married, your first duty is to your home. Dishwashing isn't such a hard task If you go about it systematically, aa you would go about anything else of equal importance. For dishwashing is a very important part of the housework if you stop to consider that upon whether it is done properly or not. very often depends whether or not the family is to get contagion. But the simplest way, and the best way to wash dishes is the systematic way. Scrape all the dishes thoroughly. Take care of all the food remaining which "has been untouched. Place it on clean dishes in the refrigerator. After the dishes have been thoroughly scraped, rinse them in cold water. Then wash them thoroughly

Women Are Rapidly Adopting Masculine Styles in Clothes Don't Be Alarmed, However, for Their House Frocks Are the Height of Femininity

Women are rapidly adopting men's styles in clothes. It's an absolute, honest fact. If you don't believe It. Just look at some of the advance fashions for women, things which are being brought out for fall wear. Take walking suits for Instance. They are made with plain tallorei coats, waistcoats exactly like those men wear, shirt waists with stiff collars, skirts which so closely follow the lines of the figure that they Just come within the classification of skirts, and heavy walking boot with low heels. Surmount all this with a derby hat. and add to It a cane, and If you haven't a costume Just about as n earjv jlke a man's as ever woman dreamed of getting, then you must be very unobserving. And for riding and golfing women actually wear trousers, with high boots. Of course, a long coat is worn over them, but the trousers are there Just the same. However, lt" only in the outing wear that these masculine etylea prevail. Indeed, when It comes to the house garments, the dressy things and the evening clothes, time never was when styles were so distinctly feminine and graceful and lovely as now. Everything is soft and clinging and exquisite in its daintiness, and it would in hot soap cuds and rinse them In boiling water. Dry them on a clean, dry towel, and the dishes are aa clean, aa germ-free and aa sanitary aa could be desired. Silver and glassware should be done first; then the china, and last of all the cooking dishes. If water la frequently thrown out and clean water kept constantly in use. the effect upon the hands will not be noticeable, while one of the most disagreeable features of dishwashing will have been entirely eliminated. Dishwashing Is one of the most common household duties and frequently one most poorly done. Try the systematic way. - It's not nearly so difflcult.

Indeed be difficult to imagine the lordly little feminine thing In cllnglnc trailing evening gown, could ever be induced to don the extremely unfemlnine, masculine attire which pre vails In the modes for outing. But that's the style. And the woman doee not live who is not governed by the style. So when the first cool days of fall arrive, you may expect to aee strolling along the street women looking very much like men, but not lacking a bit in femininity.

The odd little coat to go with a plain skirt is a strong feature of new fashions. In some of the newest bodies and coats the under-arm seam no longer exist. Bright red or yellow rose and chrysanthemums in the shape of a knot are worn on smart boas. Sleeves of coats and gowns are slashed in the same manner as the skirts. Ths opening Is filled with a iace ruffle or Is outlined with fancy buttons. A fashion that is ha vine a great vogue Is the shirt of shepherd plaid with a separate coat of black satin, rather fancifully made and finished with the inevitable ruffles of net or shadow lace. e e e Linen may be glased by ad dins; a teaspoonful of salt sad one of finely scraped soap to a ptat of starch. Silk coats with linen skirts are pop ular fn Paris. These Jackets are often of figured silk. The weave of the linen used is open and soft and Is known by the name of crash. The coat is one of those little basque eff-cts reaching the top of the hips. Only The yoethf ul figure should attempt this type of costume. m
